T 'x'l E-WRITING MACHINE.

This invention relates to tabulating mechanisms of typewriting and othermachines, and especially to the class of decimal tabulators. e

One of the objects of the invention is to facilitate the tabulatingoperation, and to this end, I mount depressible denomination keys at thefront of the keyboard of a typewriting machine, andconnect them toindependently operable denomination stops, and

provide for the mere depression of any key not only to set its stop butalso to release the letter feeding carriage,

Another object of'the invention is to imthe construction andprove andsimpli mounting of the co umn stops upon the carriage, and to facilltatethe release of the carriage from the arresting stop.

Another object is to provide simple and effective means for effectingendwise adjustment of the column stop rack upon the carriage.

Still another'objectofthe invention is to improve and simplify theconstruction and mounting upon the main frame of the typewriting,machine, of the bracket which carries the denomination stops, and torender said bracket easily adjustable in various di-' rections tobringlt into proper register with the column stops upon the carriage.

' A further object of'the invention is to provide improved means forchecking the speed of the carriage when released for tabulatingpurposes, and to avoid rebounding of the carriage. I provide acentrifugally operated brake, which is connected to the carriage so thatthe'speed of the carriage shall in-- automatically when the latter isreleased from its letter spacing devices thereby preventing the carriagefrom exdeedinga certain limit of speed. I also contrive to retard thespeed of the carriage mechanlcally during the interval ensuing betweenthe start of the carriage and the moment when it comes under the controlof the centrlfugal brake,

crease slowly from minimum to maximum, thereby securing even movement ofthe'same and avoiding undue shock at the arrest of the carriage. Thebraking means are eftect= ive not only to control the speed of thecarriage, but also to prevent any rebound there- -of when arrested bythe tabulating stops;

this being truein all cases, whether the run of the release carriage isshort, long or medium. Other objects and advantages will herein; afterappear.

Fig. 21is a detail of the weights, andFig. 22 is an inverted plan of a diskforming part of the braking mechanism and having cam projections,whereby it is turned and. pressed upwardly for checking the speed of thecarriage.

Denomination keys 1 are shown arranged in a row'in front of the ke board2 and framing 3 of an Underwoo typewriting machine. These keys aredepressibly mounted upon the front ends of levers 4 fulcrumed betweentheir ends upon a single horizontal rod 5. At their rear ends, saidlevershave knuckle-joint connections at 6 with upstanding rods or metalstrips 7, upon the upper ends of which are formed denomination stops 8.Said rods are mounted in a.

vertical bracket 9 having at its lower end a web 10 in which are formedvertical slots 11, inwhich work the rear ends of the levers and thelower ends of the stop rods. The latter, at- Fig. 11, stand parallel orapproximately' so and are arranged at letter space intervals. The levers4 extend forwardly a short distance from the rods, Figs. 9 and 10, andthen diverge for a short distance as at 12, and are again bent intoparallelism at 13 at the points where they are fulcrumed upon the rod 5,From thence they diverge forwardly at 14 to their key-bearing ends, saidends being preferably bent into parallelism and workingin a comb 15depending from the front bar of the machine frameand having a pad 16 forthe levers to strike up against.

The upper ends of the stops are guided in a horizontal comb comprising'two similar parts 17, 18- secured by screws 19 in a seat 20 formed onthe top of the bracket 9 and having coincident slots 21 to guide thestops,

said slots formed at letter space intervals.

Usually these slots are formed ten to the inch to agree with the letterspacing movements of the carriage of the ordinary ma chine; but in caseswhere the tabulating attachment is desired for useupon a machine builtfor eleven spaces or nine spaces to the inch, it is only necessary toremove the guides 17, 18, and substitute another pair of guides havingslots at the requisite intervals; it

being unnecessary to make any further from said base, whereby thebracketis positioned upon the machine. Threaded down through the side arms arescrews 27 to bear upon the top of the wall 24, or of a fixture 28usually placed upon said base. Below said screws -are two screws 29directed forwardly to bear against the rear side of the wall 24. Twomore screws 30 are threaded up through the base of the bracket andprovided with cones 31 to bear. up a ainst the frontcorner of .the loweredge 0 the wall 24. It will be understood that there are;

two of the screws 30 one at each side of the register with the column,stops 32 that are mounted upon the carria e 33. After such adjustment iseffected t e screw 3.0 may be turned up to fasten the bracket securely,the cones having the eifect of drawing the bracket both downwardly andforwardly upon the screws 27 and 29. Arms 34 extend forwardly from thebase of the bracket beneath the typewriting machine and carr at theirforward ends. the fulcrum r0 5. Screws 35 extend up one from each ofsaid arms to bear up against a fixed part of the machine 36 and therebyafford a support to the arms 34; said screws beingadjustable after thebracket is fixed, and having jam nuts 37 to secure them.

The column stops are in the form of plates forked t0 bestride a notchedbar 38, the notches 39 being formed in the top and bottom faces of thebar and preferably also in the rear face thereof to receive said plates,

the latter being adapted for use at any point along the bar. The forksof the column stop members are marked 40 at Fig. 3, and project from ahandle portion 41. The forks are pointed or rounded at 42 forconvenience in setting them upon the bar 38. The device may be set witheither edge up so that either fork may serve as a column stop, the lowerfork always projecting sufliciently below the bar, Fig. 1, for this pur3056. On alternate sides, the forks are slight y beveled at 43 and thedenomination stops arealso slightly beveled at 44. At Fig. 2, it will beseen that these bevels are upon the faces which engage to arrest thecarriage, when the latter is released by the tabulating keys.

These bevels facilitate subsequent with-' drawal of the denominationstop by the adjusting the column stop rack is threaded into the bar 38to. fasten the latter after its adjustment.

The carriage 33 is connected by a strap 57 to a sprin barrel 58, andisprovided with a letter fee ing rack. 59 in mesh with an escapementpinion 60. The rack is hinged upon a pair of arms 61, so that it may belifted. away from the pinion to release the carriage. For this purpose,a lever 62 is fulcrumed at 63 upon the framework and provided at itsforward end with a roll 64:

to engage and lift the rack. The rear end of the lever is pulled down byapendentlink 65 connected at its lower end to an arm 66 which projectsfrom a rocker or rock shaft (57. The latter rocks at each operation of adenomination stop rod, the latter. having jogs 68 any ofwhich may liftup a transverse horizontal universal bar 69 secured upon said rock shaft67 by means of screws 70. \Vhen a key is depressed the -ro is thrust up,thereby lifting the universal bar and rocking the shaft 67 to pull downthe link 65 and lever 62'and lift the roll 64 and rack 59, as seen atFig. 7. Individual springs 71 caught in cats 72 on the stop rods andextending to a fixed cross bar 73, serve to re- 7 casing 75, from the caturn the stops and keys to normal positions.

Secured upon one end of the rock shaft 67, by means of a hub 74, is acylindrical I 76 of which protrudes a bevel pinion? whichby the carriagereleasing movement of said rock shaft is trust into mesh with a bevelgear 77 secured upon the rear face of the carriage driving spring barrel58, so that the pinion is rapidly rotated by the barrel as the latterdraws the carriage along. The pinion is fixed upon the upper end of aspindle. 78 which at its upper end turns in a boss 79 formed upon thecap, and at its lower end revolves in a bo'ss 80 formed upon theopposite head of the casing. The cap has a flange 81 threaded into thetop of the casing,so that it may be taken off together with the pinionand shaft and the several parts attached to'the latter.

Attached to the shaft 78 within the casing.

by means of a screw 82 is a cross arm 83 from which hangs a pair ofweights 84, the latter, being. pivoted at 85 to swim outwardly whenrotated by the shaft, F 1g. 19. When swung out, projections 86 upon theWeights, extending up from the pivots 85,.

are caused to press up against the under side of a disk 87 loose uponthe shaft 78, and to force'said disk up,against a friction washer '88 offibrous or other material which is adapted to rub against both the topface of the 'disk and the lower face 89 of the plate-like cap 76, thus.causing considerable frictional opposition to the rotation of theshaft, and serving to prevent the speed of the carriage from exceeding acertain limit.-

The disk 87' is caused to revolve by reason of the engagement of thecross arm 83 with projections 90 extending down from said disk.Preferably said projections are beveled, and the top edges of the crossarm are also beveled, as seen at 91, so that when at thebeginning of therun of the carriage the cross arm strikes the projection, it is enabledt cam the disk 87'upwardly and produce a fair degree of pressure betweenthe disk, washer and cap; the cross-arm revolving slightly relatively tothe disk 87, to cam the latter against the washer. These three parts arealways in contact even when still. and there is suflicient initialfriction between them to afford the necessary resistance, so that thebevels 91.0n the cross arms can produceithe required ca-mming efiect onthe pro jections 90. The operation of the mechanically operating brakingdevices lslndependent of the speed of the carriage.

In practice, the paper carriage may run a short distance, say from halfan inch to two inches, at normal speed without substantial interferencefrom the braking devices; but during a moderately long run themechanical braking means,.that IS, the camming devices, take effect andretard the rate at which the speed of the carriage 1ncreases; and whenthe rate becomes so' great that the centrifugal braking devices takeeffect, there is no noticeable jerking actlon of the carriage and notendency of the strap 57 to bulge and slip off from the spring drum.Moreover, in no case is there ,any

objectionable back lash or rebound of the carriage upon its arrest bythe tabulating stops. The screw 82 may be loosened and the 1 cross arin83 set up or down on the shaft 7 8 and again secured thereto, in orderto vary the force with which the projections 86 cam upwardly thefriction devices, and hence to-.

vary the control of the governor over the speedof the carriage.
